Christian responded to my request immediately. I had a broken kitchen drawer and he was able to schedule the repair quickly. He fixed the drawer, no problem. I also wanted to use The Good Guys to paint the condo. After paying the deposit I found out that my HOA requires Workmans comp insurance, which Good Guys does not carry. Christian refunded my deposit immediately. I would definitely use The Good Guys again! read more

I hired The Good Guys Handyman for several small repairs around the apartment, including drywall patching and minor trim work. Communication was clear from the start and scheduling was easy. The work was done carefully and everything was left clean afterward. Pricing felt fair for the quality delivered. Overall, a smooth and professional experience. read more

Christian was very responsive and understood my problem with my door right away. I FaceTimed the situation and he knew what to do. He found the right 2-1/4" size door handle and managed to get it on my old fashioned door. Not an easy project but he made it easy nevertheless. Also fairly priced. Highly recommend. read more

I have been trying to get hold of this company for three weeks. I am so very disappointed as their first job was quite satisfactory. To get hold of them, receive a call back, message or even an acknowledgment of my inquiries have been quite disastrous. So very unreliable and disappointing. read more

Conscientious, friendly and professional. I was able to book the appointment after I left a voicemail; discuss the issue with the electrician since I would be off-site; receive an e-mailed estimate and make an electronic deposit; and receive a phone call explaining what work could or should be done. No nonsense. No upselling. Just plain, practical attitude and work. A very positive experience. read more

We had a long and diverse list of repairs that we've been sitting on for too long and as a result we were very anxious about even starting the process. We called Good Guys not really knowing if our list was too big and not really knowing how to navigate the whole process. We are so glad that we called the Good Guys. Chris came and walked through the project(s) with us and mapped out the particulars and decision points in his quote. The quote was accurate and detailed and fair and we felt very comfortable immediately working with The Good Guys Handyman. We felt listened to and never condescended to and felt a part of every single part of our sprawling project(s). We had The Good Guys install a new vanity and toilet, repair damaged tiles, remove ceiling fans, install new lighting, repair damaged plaster walls, remove a wall of mirrors, build out new shelving to replace the mirrors, seal our kitchen counters, and paint several rooms. The work was done on schedule and we felt like Chris and Jaime were our partners - rather than dictate their tastes or the simplest way to accomplish tasks, we were able to ask questions and explore all of our options for each task. The quality of The Good Guys work is impeccable and our remodel is gorgeous, exceeding our expectations. Each project completed by The Good Guys was done so on or ahead of schedule and the quote remained accurate throughout the projects. Our expectations have been exceeded!! read more

The owner Christian came out to see about fixing my pocket door. He was really nice and professional, and also gave me a really good breakdown of what was happening with the door and why it wasn't working. He took his time and was really straightforward with what the issues were, the amount of time that the project would take, and the projected cost. While we aren't moving forward with fixing the door just yet, I will be calling The Good Guys for other projects because I appreciated his honesty and straightforwardness. read more

I first hired Chris from The Good Guys Handyman to come into my home to rehang a bedroom door, and paint a bedroom. He is super friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and easy to get in touch with. He did such a amazing job that I hired him for two other projects. He replaced all the trim on our main floor doorways so they all matched craftsman style and I couldn't be happier with the excellent carpentry he did! I called him back again to fix an exterior door that was not framed properly when it was installed and was well weathered. He sturdied the frame and aligned it properly and replaced the exterior trim with vinyl to reduce weathering. I was extremely happy with all the work he did for us and we will definitely be calling him back for future projects! Thanks Chris! read more

Needed a vintage door installed with barn door hardware to cover my stacking washer/dryer. Chris got back to quickly to discuss the project and estimate a quote. Got me on their schedule right way. Jamie did the install. He addressed any issues, went to the store to pick up items my project needed, explained the process along the way, and delivered a well done product at the end. I am looking forward to using them for future projects in my unit and around the condo building. read more

The Good Guys Handyman - Vintage door installed with barn door hardware - Handyman Near Me

You can't beat the quality or the service. Did a beautiful job painting my two rooms, mounting a tv, installing shelves and some patch work around the house. The neighbors were also very pleased with the drywall and paint matching project that was done last year as well. Super professional and communicative. You can't go wrong. read more

This is one of those reviews I hate to write...because I hate that more people will learn how AMAZING these guys are and then I'll have to wait for their availability! Chris, Ty and Jaime are the best of the best. We started using them for small repairs around our first condo - some painting here, a light there -- they were quick, easy to work with and always available. They'd even show me (a good guy but DEFINITELY not a handyman) how they did it. When we installed a washer/dryer, they did it all -- installing outlets, repairing drywall and more. They even installed ethernet for us in the depths of the pandemic! We decided to move for some more space and knew we wanted to update the paint and lighting from the previous owners. We asked Chris and team if they'd be willing to come the week before we closed and help us with a list of updates. Not only did they show up and provide a very fair quote -- Chris and Jaime even came back the day before Easter to FINISH painting. Who does that? Chris is a fastidious painter and he did an incredible job. Ty even came back later to hang another fixture and replace a breaker he heard buzzing. They went above and beyond and are ALWAYS the first people I will call when I need some help around the house. Thanks guys - always appreciate you and everything you've done for our homes over the years. read more

The business must be super busy. Aside from the initial response, all of my follow-up questions were ignored, both on Yelp and directly through the website. Disappointing for a business with such high rating. read more

We engaged Chris to scrape off peeling paint from a few spots across 3 ceilings and to fully repaint one of the ceilings and just prove patch and spot paint the others. He worked quietly and efficiently, and the ceilings look great. Thanks, Chris! read more

I reached out to Good Guys to help replace insulation and drywall after some water damage, as well as to repair a rotting door frame. They were extremely responsive and able to both come by for an estimate right away and schedule the work before the holidays. Jaime did great work and the final price, including materials and labor, was almost exactly what was initially estimated! Thank you! read more

Hadn't needed a go to handyman in Chicago until today. We just had a variety of electrical odd jobs stacking up related to outlets not working, fans needed installed and some of my not so handy work to be corrected. Everything was really smooth, easy to communicate with, book an appt, simple online payment via credit card. Really happy with the price. Previous experience with this type of work had been pricier and Ty was very personable, respectful, wore a mask and cleaned up after each job appropriately. Just saved these folks in my Yelp collection as one of our Go To Guys for any type of help we may need around the house, or any more of my handy work that needs undoing :) read more

I had been trying to get someone to come fix a leaky pipe behind a wall with no luck. Chris got back to my yelp request almost immediately. Chris and Jamie are very professional in their work. Chris showed me everything he was working on and explained everything clearly. The work was down efficiently, cleanly, and just looks really good. I definitely recommend these guys and will no doubt use them again. read more

So happy with the service I received from TGGH team. From the scheduling process to the help from Ty the electrician. They were not only the most reasonably priced, but they were also efficient. Ty was polite and on time. He explained the issue and what he needed to do to fix it. He was done quickly and all was fixed and back to normal. As a homeowner, I always need something fixed and I will definitely use TGGH team in the future! read more

Professional, polite, straight up good guys! Both Chris and Adrian were very courteous and professional throughout the process. Chris made clear communications with me, and Adrian did an excellent job onsite. I couldn't have asked for more for a home repair. Thank you, Good Guys! read more

We needed to replace three ceiling light fixtures with fans before the summer heated up. After submitting a request online I had an electrician out within 48 hours. The service was quick, professional, kind, and under the estimate. Seriously impressed! read more

This company is amazing! They were able to scheduled an appointment within 3 days. I had a badly dog damaged wall and needed some expertise in dog proofing. The owner and employees were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. My wall and dog proofed apartment is beautiful looking. Also, they are awesome in customizing requests. This is the BEST handyman service I have found!!!!! read more

I needed a faucet replaced in my kitchen. Chris answered my initial call quickly and communicated everything I needed to know. I got the quote quickly after and was able to schedule something the same day. He was in communication the day of the installation and picked up a faucet for installation without the need for me to do anything. The installation was quick and efficient. I'm 100% satisfied with the service and will use definitely use Chris again for my next job. read more

We worked with Ty and Jamie for a lot of mini projects across our home from lighting , new wiring , fixing up our stairs, Ethernet, weather proofing , locks, patching , etc. they are some of the best folks to work with, up front pricing, easy to schedule. Even through the difficult COVID times, they were always clean with their work, wore masks, and really easy to coordinate daily work with. They gave us tons of ideas on solving the issues we had and worked to get timely and cost conscious solutions. I would hire them in a jiffy for most home projects . Alas with quality people they are busy so book ahead . read more

Chris was responsive in coming out to review and provided a quote in a timely manner for painting most of the interior of our home. They painted everything (ceilings, walls, and trim) for most of our living area. They also completed numerous repairs to drywall and replaced some lights. I would definitely recommend. read more

Highly recommend The Good Guys Handyman. Jamie came by to repair our outdoor vents and remove a bath mirror. He also provided us advice on some future work we were looking into. He was personable and did a great job with the work. He also double checked with us to make sure the repairs were what we expected. We will be using them for our future handyman needs. Thanks guys! read more

We hired them to patch some walls, paint window casings, caulk around the bathtub and remove and clean up some wiring in the ceiling from an old smoke detector. The guys were great and did a fantastic job. Highly recommend read more

Having been very pleased with Jaime, I scheduled a canned light installation with them. Ty was very professional and knowledgeable. I had no ceiling lights at all in my house, so Ty had to pull wires from my plug create a new place on the wall for switches, create holes where the lights would go and wire it all. He worked very clean, efficient and professional - I felt like I was in good hands the entire time. And wow - what a huge difference it made! I am extremely happy with the installation and will be calling them for more things that need to be fixed in my house. read more

This is the second time we have used this company. Jamie spent 6 hours working with us. He was so thorough, precise, professional and extremely patient. He hung our curtains and several TVs, frames and heavy mirrors. We will never have to use anyone else ever again and will continue to refer them to everyone we know. He even cleans up after he is done. I have them on speed dial! read more

Well it started off good. I reached out to Chris and explained that I had some water damage in my rental property. I gave Chris the number to my tenant so he could arrange a time that worked out for both of thm was having a new roof installed which was the cause of the water damage. Once I explained the roof was being replaced I thought he would give an estimate and be able to start work. That's when I never heard from him again. read more

Excellent service! Jamie of The Good Guys installed a slide out, under the counter shelf for garbage. He was courteous and did an excellent job installing the shelving. I highly recommend The Good Guys and most definitely will use their craftsmanship again. read more

Having read other reviews stating that contractors arrived to the job without the appropriate supplies, I was certain to ask Christian beforehand if his crew would like to see the job in person versus photos...he declined. Seeing as they charge by the hour...I'm going to need them to arrive to my job 100% prepared and ready to complete it in a timely manner. I was informed that I was "welcome to cancel and shop elsewhere." Thank you sir...that's exactly what I will be doing. Quality work is important, but so is top-notch customer service and gaining/maintaining trust. Their response time was also not the best. Two stars however for the small bit of effort that was given. Update: Sadly their "professional" response to this post was neither short or factual (as promised) and I have the email trail to back that up. The bottom line is there are better suited businesses out there for customers like me who request quotes because we want complete transparency...and then there are others ok with your oke doke response of "we don't provide solid quotes..." - Glad you never step foot on the job as well. Cheers! read more

We've hired Good Guys Handyman for multiple jobs we've been tackling after moving into our house. Ty put an electrical outlet in our master walk-in closet, secured an electrical outlet in our kitchen island, and swapped out a bunch of bathroom vanity fixtures. He also installed GFI outlets in our garage and moved the location of our dining chandelier electrical box and installed the chandelier (pictured). Jamie has done dry wall repair for us, changed the swing on our master bedroom door, and installed a door in the trellising under our deck so we could have under deck access, among other things. Chris repainted our kitchen island (pictured). We have been incredibly happy with everything they've done for us, which is why we keep coming back to them time and again. They are kind, personable, and great to work with. I've always felt like they've had ample expertise for the jobs they've done for us. We recommend them wholeheartedly! read more

Pleasant to work with for a few projects but then ghosted and flaked on the most recent project resulting in us to having to call up a bunch of other contractors with only days until tenant move-in. I understand if you need to cancel a project, but I would have thought that 3 days worth of work previously would have at least earned us a text or phone call saying so. Please don't string along other customers like this in the future. read more

Will definitely use again! Jamie and Adrian very thorough and talked us through step by step everything he was taking care of. Professional, courteous, and left our apartment spotless. One thing I'd do in the future more clearly is ask what kind of fixtures are necessary. We called in advance to ask what they had on hand, and were told that they would have everything on hand to set up shelves. Unfortunately, when Jamie arrived, he did not have what he needed and it took two hours round trip for a run to the hardware store. Had the dispatchers provided a clearer picture in advance of exactly what they would have had on hand, we would have picked up the hardware ourselves in advance and saved everyone a little time (and us some money). Overall a positive experience and will definitely use again. ***UPDATE**** After our service, my husband and I noticed that the shelf installed was a little wobbly - there was some instability in the drywall that caused some cracking along the shelving brackets. Even though the drywall stability was completely unrelated to Jaime and Adrian's service, Jamie came back to our unit today and fully repaired the shelf at no additional cost. We just paid for the new hardware. Incredible customer service and we couldn't be happier! read more

Chris and team did an excellent job repairing some holes and damage to the walls in the condo. They were prompt in their replies and came in very close to estimate. When you look at the before and after you cannot even tell that there were holes in the wall. They managed to repair the damage and match the existing paint color perfectly. In the future, if I need a handy man I will start with this the Good Guys Handyman. read more

The guys at Good Guys should really be called AMAZING Guys because they did such amazing work creating our custom bookshelves. Chris, his brother Jamie, and Adrian were so helpful, polite, considerate, and professional. They did an incredible job bringing my vision to fruition. They had great ideas on how to make the unit better, they asked my opinion on everything along the way to make sure I was satisfied, and they were surprisingly quick. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with the Good Guys. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for the best quality work. read more

The Good Guys Handyman - An entire wall of custom bookshelves! - Handyman Near Me

I have used The Good Guys for two projects, a small bathroom remodel & installing new kitchen cabinets. In both instances, they did a fantastic & professional job. Both times they sent Jamie to do the work, who was great about asking questions, communicating what he was doing, and explaining various options along with his recommendation. In both instances, the time it took came in under the estimated time, which was nice as it helped save a little money. read more

Contacted Good Guys to touch up paint in our condo to get it ready to sell and am happy with the result! Their turnaround time was fast and Chris was great about walking me through what he'd need to do and how long it would take. And, he noticed that a couple lights were out and took the initiative to put in new bulbs in one, and was available to fix the other that was broken. Both he and Jamie were professional and friendly. Happy to have found a good handyman and will be using Good Guys again in the future! read more

Excellent! From the appointment scheduling to the final results. Highly recommend for everyone looking for a reliable handyman who does quality work. Jamie and Adrian are the best read more

The Good Guys Handyman - Bifold doors installation and alignment. Superb - Handyman Near Me

After multiple back and forth communications with Chris (initial response was significantly delayed), he agreed to do a site visit at my property on 7/13/21 to provide a quote, Chris stated he will respond to me to schedule a time for the next day, he didn't call back and did not respond to a text asking him to confirm a time the day of. Frustrating to say the least and poor customer service, a simple text or call letting a customer know you can't provide your services or a quote is the bare minimum. read more

Great service, reliable and communication. They were able to fit me in on last minute notice. A little pricey but it is what it is.
